So I broke down my 180 Gallon system and now I am in the process of building a 90 gallon system. I plan on a 30 couple gallon sump so in theory I have 120 gallons. Minus Live Rock and the fact that the sump wont be full I am figuring on having about 100 gallons in the system maybe 115 with reactors and such.
I have an IceCap K2-200 Skimmer that is rated for a Heavy Bio Load for a 180 and the skimmer worked amazingly on my 180 that did not have a heavy bio load. So now my question?? Do you think the K2-200 on the 90 gallon reef will be overkill and or should I just run it a few hours a day so that the system has time to build up enough organics?
Just looking for some input as I really like the performance of this skimmer and would rather use it then sell it if it will do what I need on the 90.
